[1][2][3][4][5] Simply moving the files to another repository (GNU Emacs or ELPA) won't create a maintainer for them. There is no GNU ELPA community AFAIK. Excepting perhaps Stefan, it seems to be individuals maintaining their own packages. Emacs itself has a small number of active people, but less used components can languish. > 2) The documentation is handled appropriately.

Ref https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Multi_002dfile-Packages.html Personally, I strongly recommend creating an ELPA package rather than adding to Emacs itself.
